Sick and tired of the video running
Is anyone else sick of the video running next to where the text is?
I know I can turn in off but thats just plain rude.

What video? Maybe my red star is protecting me. Or, maybe Adblock Plus is blocking it for me.

I don't know what video you are seeing, but I see an ad for a bike shop, showing kids wearing helmets way too high on their heads while riding bikes. If that's the way that shop fits helmets, I think I will avoid it.

I use a "hosts" file to block mine. Searched for a way of getting rid of those nasty ZEDO popups that are so prevalent out there. Haven't seen any side advertisements for quite some time now.

Do a google search for "Hosts Blocking" and that should do the trick. If not message me your email address and I'll send you the necessary files. Works GREAT and I haven't seen a ZEDO popup in months.

** not making this up
As far as the OP goes, I was not logged in for a while over the weekend, and I saw ads, but no video

If it's Scott's Cyclery in Willimantic, CT....that's my shop. That is not the way they fit helmets BTW.

yes, you are an "obsolete premium member,"** so you will never see ads, adblock or no.

The excess of ads and video clips are ruining my enjoyment of this site. Having a Mac computer that does not accept the blocking option indicated above leaves me vulnerable to increasing delays when opening and scrolling through forums. Result: go riding and forget about posting.
